The latest ...

We survived the massive power outage and it certainly makes you stop and think about how dependent we are on electricity.  Despite the 24 hour prediction, we were only off for ten hours.  Today we received a call from the city stating we needed to boil all water until further notice.  The kids enjoyed the fact they didn't have to go to school today hence enjoying another three day weekend!  Tonight I am home alone as Mark is working the chains at one football game, Connor is off to his school's game, and Kelleigh went to a concert with her best friend and her mom. 

Because of the very warm days we had earlier this week, we had the rare treat of some nighttime swims which I always love.  The dogs loved being outdoors at night too - that black spot is Jake!


The freshman team received their polo shirts this week which is what they wear each game day along with their khaki pants.  He looked so nice!


Today started the kid's bathroom demo to see what is causing the floor and wall to bubble up.  Fortunately it is due to the shower door frame not being sealed correctly.  Not that it doesn't mean the floor needs rebuilt in one area, wallboard replaced in the bathroom as well as ceiling in garage below, and the entire bathroom flooring replaced.  Better that than a plumbing leak within the walls!


Lastly, tomorrow Ryan is allowed to have Mark and/or I come visit.  Because we don't want to leave the kids home alone (they aren't allowed to come yet) for the better part of the day, I am going alone.  We will probably alternate our visits.  I'm very excited to see him as it's been 15 weeks but imagine it will be a little bit emotional for me as well.
